Good Luck to new Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, he'll need it, IMO.
Why, because he has based his program (Anti-austerity) on the wrong problem. Just like those that based their program on austerity they were very very wrong.
Productivity (technology/automation) is the real problem, not creating enough jobs for the Greece population or EU in general.
Progressive governments will be more open to solutions, such as early
retirement at full pension, community hobby centers, free day care centers, age limits on civil service jobs, etc.
Society has to switch from being define by your job to a society that has to find ways to keep busy without killing each other.....
